Marani, Alessandro Riva, and Maurizio Sciaccaluga.

Corona’s artworks are inspired by the great masters of the 16th and 17th centuries, however, the artist is able to offer a contemporary rereading of both still life and portrait genres. The artist is therefore able to combine traditional materials and techniques with a contemporary fresh and unique interpretation of his subjects, as such, he is one of the most popular contemporary Italian painter in the still-life genre. His works are represented worldwide by Salamon Fine Art.
